Indivisibles,

As you may have heard, twenty House Republicans are preventing any action in the House of Representatives as Republicans cannot coalesce around a speaker. Currently, because members-elect cannot be sworn in, we do not have a sitting House of Representatives.

In response to what a potential speaker would need to do to earn the votes of the MAGA extremist legislators holding out, one holdout said:

 

Erik Wasson tweet reads: Holdout Ralph Norman says speaker needs to commit to using government shutdown and debt ceiling default threat to cut spending and to following through on threat if needed

 

That’s right. These fanatics won’t agree to allow the House to do any of its work unless the new speaker agrees to commit to potentially shutting down the government and causing economic chaos.

If that sounds outright ludicrous to you, it does to us too! Who could have predicted this level of dysfunction and sabotage? Oh, that’s right, we did!

 

Guide excerpt: Republicans will sabotage everything not nailed to the floor. A concrete action to expect is threatening - or actually causing - government shutdowns by refusing to pass government funding bills.

 

^That is an excerpt from the 2023 Indivisible Guide. Oddly prescient, isn’t it?

We swear we’re not psychics and we don’t own DeLoreans. We are a group of dedicated political activists with a strong finger on the pulse of what’s happening in Washington -- often directly thanks to the works of Indivisibles on the ground. 

Our Guide is the culmination of part of that work -- a comprehensive strategy providing a unified vision of how we can win. We put this together so that Indivisibles across the country have a framework for how they can come together to defeat MAGA extremism in all facets. You activists then can use that framework to drive progress and make this world a little better every day. 

To get there together, we need mutual understanding. Here’s where we start:

  • Read the 2023 Indivisible Guide. Catch up on where we stand, explore our game plan for the current Congress, and find out how to get involved. Our wins over the last six years have been because we were coordinated, energized, and informed; let’s make sure we go into 2023 with that same foundation in place to fuel more wins. 
  • Register for the Deep Dive on the New Guide: Our 2023 Indivisible Guide Launch Call on Thursday, January 12 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Join Indivisibles from across the country as our team breaks down the main focuses of the Guide, walks us through activation strategies that can be applied locally in 2023, and creates a community space to reconvene and launch into a new year.
  • Donate $20 to Indivisible today! That is one dollar for each MAGA extremist holding our government hostage. Donate today to ensure that we can continue to be of service to the movement bringing activists together and sharing expertise to achieve victories. 

The dysfunction in the House of Representatives is not a symptom of the MAGA Republican Party’s extremism, it is their goal. We’re seeing firsthand what that sort of disorder means -- a complete inability to govern. The organizing we do now will set the stage for how progressives approach 2023 and beyond. While Republicans play chicken with Congress, let’s come together and prepare for our next steps. 

You are the movement. Let’s get to work.

In solidarity,
